    Their truck drivers are not friendly and usually park where ever they like…read more One of them parked in front of my house in the middle of Laneway and closed the way. Every passing car should horn, search for them to move the car and again they parked on the way that noo car could pass

    Yesterday, as I was visiting this appliance store, I was already thinking to myself that, when I…read morewrite this Yelp review, I was going to give this place a 4- or perhaps even 5-star rating. After all, the showroom was large, clean and beautiful, with so many display rooms showcasing so many appliances, so one can actually see how they would look in a real-life kitchen or bathroom or laundry room setting. And they have SO many makes and models of appliances, in many price points. And the staff seemed so knowledgeable and helpful - at least, our sales rep Ken was. So our experience here was pretty stellar at first. Unfortunately, my impression of the company went downhill pretty fast after the initial store visit. Here's the backstory: woke up yesterday to a dead microwave. (I don't know about you, but I can't live without a microwave!). My kid and I immediately went to Trail, on the recommendation of some neighbors. (Our condo has very precise specs for the mw built-in, as most condos do). Once at the store, initially, no-one was around to help us, and the sales rep folks were all chatting among themselves or sitting at desks with their computers in one area of the store. My kid and I beelined to the mw area and started looking at all the models, not sure which ones would work in our space. Surprisingly, even after 5-10 minutes, no-one came to help us out, so I wandered over to the sales rep area and asked for assistance. Soon after, Ken came to us and helped us out. He really was great. We found what we wanted, Ken said it was in stock, and we paid for it. Easy peasy, right? (Note: it was a super nice Panasonic model, midrange, and it cost approx. $500 with taxes and all. So...not for nothing). That's when the issues began. I found out that when Ken said "it's in stock", he didn't mean in stock in the store, but in stock in their warehouse in Surrey. Argh. So we could go and get it then or get it delivered in 5-6 days for an extra $45 or so. Ken said if we go to the warehouse, he'd call or email them first to ensure it would be waiting for us. Ok, we decided to go and get it. After the 40 minute drive (traffic wasn't great), found the warehouse, found the customer pick-up area, go inside, show ID, and the lady says, oh, your salesperson didn't check off something in the paperwork, have a seat, she'll contact the stockroom and figure it out. My kid avails herself to the free coffee there for customers (she said it was quite good. At least there's that!). After about 15 minutes, the woman says to us, again, there's a problem it's our sales rep's fault, something to do with the "allocation" (with?), and she asked if we could reach Ken as he's not answering her phone. (WTH?). I call Ken and pass the phone to this woman. They talk for a minute, then I talk to Ken and he says it's all a minor paperwork issue, there's no problem. Then the woman tells me that there are 7 of my mw's in stock but 6 are accounted for and she's hoping they can get me that one available mw, that there's an issue with "allocation", and again, it's "all your sales rep's fault" for not doing something or other. She was unsure if we'd even get the mw I ordered and purchased. She again advised us to take a seat. I asked how long would it take before she hopefully got the mw. She had no idea. I asked, well, are we talking another 10 minutes, or like, a hour, or more? (I did NOT want to hit rush hour traffic back to Van). She had no idea. ARGH. Here's when my blood started to boil and my stock in Trail Appliances started to tank. I whispered to my kid, this is clearly a company that does NOT care about its customers. It's incredibly poor form, IMO, to speak ill of your colleagues in front of clients and blame them for issues, and it's so unprofessional to tell people to just "wait" for something that may not even be available, indefinitely, with no idea of wait time. My kid and I just sat there, waiting, for about 45 minutes, all the while thinking, how much time before we leave, furious at this huge waste of time and effort. Heck, had I know it'd be like this, if I knew the mw wasn't in stock in the showroom, even, I'm not sure I'd have gone through with the purchase. I don't like surprises. Eventually, the woman said that the mw was there and they'd bring it out to our car. We got it and drove home and, yes, we are happy with the actual item purchased. But this whole experience took the better part of a whole day, and the warehouse experience was so unprofessional. It left a very bad taste in my mouth. I'd never go back to Trail as a result, regardless how great my new mw is.
